What is Innovate UK?
Innovate UK is the UK's innovation agency, part of UK Research and Innovation. It runs competitions for businesses, often for a few weeks at a time, on the Innovation Funding Service. It is not a standing grant you can claim whenever cash is short. If the competition date has passed, that round is closed.

Does Find Grants submit an Innovate UK form?
No. The application still goes into the Innovation Funding Service. A draft is text you check and then file yourself.
